AIRINC (Associates for International Research, Inc.)

What is the best solution for your company: full-service relocation, lump sum amount, or a hybrid approach? It’s a hotly debated topic within corporate relocation programs and is discussed at almost every industry event. Companies must weigh their budget against the level of support they are willing to provide transferees. There’s no easy answer, no one-size-fits-all.

Worldwide ERC has consistently cited high cost-of-living as one of the main reasons why employees are reluctant to relocate. This issue can have real consequences on your company’s ability to recruit and retain talent in a highly competitive labor market. You may be addressing cost differences in your global assignments, but what about in your domestic relocation program?

Our careers often take us in different directions but this week I returned to AIRINC to develop new client relationships within the Midwest. Having been away for the last five years in the relocation management sales world, I visited a new Cambridge, MA office with many new faces, but I found the same dedication to clients and quality products that has fostered AIRINC’s reputation as industry thought leaders for over sixty-five years.
